"Yes," said rich dad"The briar patch is our @@@@@ "Yes," said rich dad"The briar patch is our fear and our greedGoing into our fear and confronting our greed, our weaknesses, our neediness is the way outAnd the way out is through the mind, by choosing our thoughts "Choosing our thoughts?" Mike asked, puzzledChoosing what we think rather than reacting to our emotionsInstead of just getting up and going to work to solve your problems, just because the fear of not having the money to pay your bills is scaring youThinking would be taking the time to ask yourself a questionA question like, `Is working harder at this the best solution to this problem?' Most people are so terrified at not telling themselves the truth-that fear is in control-that they cannot think, and instead run out the doorTar baby is in controlThat's what I mean by choosing your thoughts "And how do we do that?" Mike asked "That's what I will be teaching youI'll be teaching you to have a choice of thoughts to consider, rather than knee-jerk reacting, like gulping down your morning coffee and running out the door "Remember what I said before: A job is only a short-term solution to a long-term problemMost people have only one problem in mind, and it's short termIt's the bills at the end of the month, the Tar BabyMoney now runs their livesOr should I say the fear and ignorance about moneySo they do as their parents did, get up every day and go work for moneyNot having the time to say, `Is there another way?'

A Partnership Is Formed
The next morning, I told my best friend, Mike, what my dad had saidAs best I could tell, Mike and I were the only poor kids in this schoolMike was like me in that he was in this school by a twist of fateSomeone had drawn a jog in the line for the school district, and we wound up in school with the rich kidsWe weren't really poor, but we felt as if we were because all the other boys had new baseball gloves, ,,,y new bicycles, new everything Mom and dad provided us with the basics, like food, shelter, clothes:, But that was about itMy dad used to say, "If you want something, work for it We wanted things, but there was not much work available for 9- , year-old boys "So what do we do to make money?" Mike asked "I don't know," I said"But do you want to be my partner?" He agreed and so on that Saturday morning, Mike became my first business partnerWe spent all morning coming up with ideas on how to 1'make moneyOccasionally we talked about all the "cool guys" at Jimmy's beach house having funIt hurt a little, but that hurt was good, for it inspired us to keep thinking of a way to make moneyFinally, that afternoon, a bolt of lightning came through our headsIt was an idea Mike had gotten from a science book he had readExcitedly, we shook hands, and the partnership now had a busine | | Wednesday, December 29th, 2010 | | 2:28 am |
@@@@@His senses were raw, a little inflamedHe @@@@@His senses were raw, a little inflamedHe remembered with a thick lusting anger in his throat how he had killed the prisoner in the drawJust let me get ahold of a JapHe felt balked on this patrol, infuriated; his rage extended to include everythingHe stared up at Mount Anaka as if measuring an opponentAt that moment he hated the mountain too, considered it a personal affront A hundred yards away, he could see the stretcher detail straggling back toward the hollow, the poles they had cut balanced on their shouldersHe restrained himself from calling out to them Brown watched their approach dourlyIn a half hour he would be setting out with his litter-bearers, and they would toil a mile or more, perhaps, and then bivouac for the night, alone in this wilderness with only a wounded man for companyHe wondered if he knew the way back, felt completely unsure of himselfWhat if the Japs sent out patrols? Brown felt bitterThere was no way out of itIt seemed like a plot against them allThey were betrayed, that's allHe could not have said who betrayed them, but the idea fed his bitterness, was fragilely pleasant
In the grove while they were cutting the stretcher poles, Roth found a birdIt was a tiny thing, smaller than a sparrow, with soft dun-colored feathers and a crippled wing, and it hopped about slowly, chirping piteously, as if very tired"Oh, look at that," Roth said "What?" Minetta asked Roth dropped his machete and approached it warily, clucking with his tongueThe bird made a little beeping sound, ducking its head to one side like a shy girl"Ah, look at that, it's hurt," Roth saidHe extended his hand, and when the bird didn't move, he grasped it"Aw, what's the matter," he said to it softly, lisping a little as if talking to an infant or a do | | 2:26 am |
@@@@@But past the valley beneath them, the yellow @@@@@But past the valley beneath them, the yellow hills extended only a short distance before altering into darker tans and browns and the gray-blue of rockIn the evening a haze was spreading over the hills, obscuring the pass to the west of Mount Anaka through which they must travelEven the mountain was growing indistinctIt was colored a deep lavender-blue, its mass dissolving, becoming transparent in the late twilightOnly the ridge-lines remained distinctAbove the peak a few delicate clouds perched tenebrously, their forms lost in mist Croft put up his field glasses and stared through themThe mountain looked like a rocky coast and the murky sky seemed to be an ocean shattering its foam upon the shoreThe movement of the clouds across the peak seemed like mist sprayThrough the glasses, the image became more and more intense, holding Croft in absorptionThe mountain and the cloud and the sky were purer, more intense, in their gelid silent struggle than any ocean and any shore he had ever seenThe rocks gathered themselves in the darkness, huddled together against the fury of the waterThe contest seemed an infinite distance away, and he felt a thrill of anticipation at the thought that by the following night they might be on the peakAgain, he felt a crude ecstasyHe could not have given the reason, but the mountain tormented him, beckoned him, held an answer to something he wantedIt was so pure, so austere He realized with anger and frustration that they would not climb the mountainIf the next day went without incident, they would advance through the pass by nightfall, and he would never have a chance to attempt the mountainHe was balked as he handed the glasses to the Lieutenant Hearn was very wearyHe had survived the march without incident, had even felt capable of marching farther, but his body demanded restHe was gloomy, and as he stared through the glasses the mountain troubled him, roused his awe and then his fearIt was too immense, too powerfulHe suffered a faint sharp thrill as he watched the mist eddy about the peakHe imagined the ocean actually driving against a rockbound coast, and despite himself strained his ears as though he could hear the sound of such a titanic strugg | | Monday, December 27th, 2010 | | 2:30 am |

@@@@@Listen to Jason!
The searchlights—someone @@@@@Listen to Jason! The searchlights—someone had pressed something and they went crazy, spinning around in circles, abrupt, blinding, out of control! Where would Carlos go? Where could he hide? The beams were erratically piercing everywhere! Then, from an opening that he could not see from across the fenced-in area, two police cars raced inside, their sirens blaringUniformed men leaped out from every door, and contrary to anything he expected to see, each scrambled to the borders of the fence, behind the cars and the vans, one after another dashing from one vehicle to another to the open gate that led to the guardhouse and the tunnel There was a break in space, in timeIn men! The last four escapees from the second car were suddenly three—and only moments later did the fourth appear-but he was not the same—the uniform was not the same! There were specks of orange and red, and the visored officer’s cap was laced with gold ribbing, the visor itself too prominent for the American army, the crown of the cap too pointedAnd, suddenly, Bourne understoodFragments of his memories spiraled back years to Madrid or Casavieja, when he was tracing the Jackal’s contracts with the FalangistsIt was a Spanish uniform! That was it! Carlos had infiltrated through the Spanish compound, and as his Russian was fluent, he was using the high-ranking uniform to make his escape from Novgorod Jason lurched to his feet, his automatic drawn, and ran across the graveled lot, his left hand reaching into his field jacket pocket for his second-to-last flareHe pulled the release and hurled the fired stalk above the cars, beyond the fenceBenjamin would not see it from the guardhouse and mistake it for the signal to close the gates of the tunnel; that signal would come shortly—in seconds, perhaps—but at the moment it was premature, again perhaps by seconds “Eto srochno!” roared one of the escaping men, spinning around and panicked at the sight of the hissing, blinding flare “Skoryeye!” shouted another, passing three companions and racing toward the open section of the fenceAs the whirling searchlights continued their maniacal spinning, Bourne counted the seven figures as one by one they dashed away from the last car and passed through the opening, joining the excited crowds at the mouth of the tunnelThe eighth man did not appear; the highranking Spanish uniform was nowhere in sightThe Jackal was trapped! Now! Jason whipped out his last flare, yanked the release, and threw it with all his strength over the stream of rushing men and women at the guardhouseDo it, Ben! he screamed in silence as he removed the next-to-last grenade from the pocket of his field jacketDo it now! As if in answer to his fevered plea, a thunderous roar came from the tunnel, round after round of hysterical protestations punctuated by screams and shrieks and wailing chaosTwo rapid, deafening bursts of automatic gunfire preceded unintelligible commands over the speakers, shouted in RussianAnother burst and the same voice continued, louder, even more authoritative, as the crowd momentarily but perceptibly quieted down, only to suddenly resume screaming at full volumeBourne glanced over, astonished to see through the beams of the spinning searchlights the figure of Benjamin now standing on the roof of the concrete guardhouseThe young trainer was Robert Ludlum ?? THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM 433 shouting into the microphone, exhorting the crowd to follow his instructions, whatever they wereAnd whatever they were, they were being obeyed! The multitude gradually, then gathering momentum, began reversing direction—then, as a single unit, started racing back into the street! Benjamin ignited his flare and waved it, pointing to the northHe was sending Jason his own signalNot only was the tunnel shut down but the crowds were being dispersed without anyone being shot with the AK-47There had been a better w | | 2:26 am |

I will hear no more from you!

@@@@@
As an adult, I have difficulty explaining @@@@@ As an adult, I have difficulty explaining it to other adultsWhy? Because adults are smarterIn most cases, the simplicity of the idea escapes most adults because they have been educated differentlyThey have been educated by other educated professionals, such as bankers, accountants, real estate agents, financial planners, and so forthThe difficulty comes in asking adults to unlearn, or become children againAn intelligent adult often feels it is demeaning to pay attention to simplistic definitions
Rich dad believed in the KISS principle-"Keep It Simple Stupid"-so he kept it simple for two young boys, and that made the financial foundation strong So what causes the confusion? Or how could something so simple be so screwed up? Why would someone buy an asset that was really a liabilityThe answer is found in basic education We focus on the word "literacy" and not "financial literacy What defines something to be an asset, or something to be a liability are not wordsIn fact, if you really want to be confused, look up the words "asset" and "liability" in the dictionaryI know the definition may sound good to a trained accountant, but for the average person it makes no senseBut we adults are often too proud to admit that something does not make sense As young boys, rich dad said, "What defines an asset is not words but numbersAnd if you cannot read the numbers, you cannot tell an asset from a hole in the ground "In accounting," rich dad would say, "it's not the numbers, but what the numbers are telling youIt's just like wordsIt's not the words, but the story the words are telling you Many people read, but do not understand muchIt's called reading comprehensionAnd we all have different abilities when it comes to reading comprehensionFor example, I recently bought a new VCRIt came with an instruction book that explained how to program the VCRAll I wanted to do was record my favorite TV show on Friday night |
